Guilty conscience ;)

Yip I've been shopping for crafty goodies, so thought I'd have a go at finishing a pack full of scraps!  Nearly made it with these 3, but there's still a few wee bits that still need using up.

Card 1: Hoppy Birthday
I found this sentiment when I was rooting round my stamps looking for something else, and then spent another 20 minutes looking for this froggy stamp!  Can't think of the maker, if I remember I'll add it in tomorrow.
Coloured with watercolour pencils; clear gloss added to his eyes; Wink of Stella to his paler green spots.  Gold, green and pink sequins from stash.

Card 2: Missing You Doggy
This is another stamp that I can't remember the make of.  His expression is kinda like our wee Ruby today who had an unexpected visit to the vet and ended up getting a tooth out.  Think she's in a bit of a huff with us now :(

Watercoloured BG.  Clear gloss to the dog's nose.  Paper Smooches heart die.  Gold peel off strip and gold sequin from stash.
  • Layout inspired by Michele's card over at the Muse Challenge #147.  I copied her strip down the side and the stitched die cut image.
  • CASology #179 - simple
  • My Time to Craft #312 - friendship
Card 3: Party Cow
Now this stamp I do know ... def a Penny Black oldie!  Coloured with watercolours.  Clear gloss added to her wellies and horns.  Green sequins from stash.  Sentiment from MFT.

Wonderful, Happy cards Lynne. I've been spending this week too, apart from the usual essentials like DS tape etc. I have bought no less than 8 singles/sets of dies, and I don't feel guilty at all :o)

Such a great trio of cards! Love the little froggy card with his bright background; what frog wouldn't want to swim in a rainbow pond?! And your little dog card is so sweet! what a fun image. Sorry to hear about Ruby's tooth, too. And your last card is just so fun! Love her boots. Three wonderful cards, and way to use up those scraps. Bev
